has been only a small Increase in. !-

There Is quite' a goed trade reported
In the local flour market for this timn
of the year, but taking all things Into
consideration the- general flour market
is extremely- quiet. Speaking of ".the
situation, Led Peterson, editor-of the
Portland Commercial Review writes as
follows: . .
'The market for foreign ' flour has
exhibited no signs of any Improvement
n the general situation from tne mit
er's point of view, and for a, long time
buying has been on the moat conserva
tive lines; most buyers allowed their
stocks to almost recede to a vanishing
point. - A small . demand. therefore,,
which has come to light with the hard
ening tendency) of : the .market, has not
made millers over Joyful, but is still
disappointingly measured by the more
Immediate requirements of consumers.
Flour buyers 'are evidently endeavoring
to get aiong until tne next ' crop on
as -close a margin as possible. The
little export business worked with the
orient is at close figures. Most bids
from China have been .too much out of
line; prices nave undergone no marked
change, and millers are stronger , In
their pretensions; buyers do not ahoa
much confidence- in- the present- situa
tion of the market, and so fresh or
ders of any Importance are being placed.
However, should . the wheat . market
continue - to advances buyers will no
doubt be compelled ere long to follow
the rise, as stocks of wheat are light,
and good prices must be paid to se
cure any of the unsold crop.
Coast low -Call Belnotans.
;'Aa for coastwise and local trade
the demand Is lamely a reluctant one.
h which la upset and checked at the least
Indications of an irregular movement.
Individual mills, by price cutting, have
caused soma demoralisation.' 'mere are
enough of these instances occurring,
apparently, ' to enable buyers to pick
up "snaps' from time to time and to
eacourage them in withholding from
buying except when a miller is willing
to cut his price. There is no use de
nying the fact that flour trade Is dull,
tt the fact that nour trade is dull.
and If the miller has any hope' of an'mportea
eany aajustment or matters, ne rans
to show it In his talk of the jondl
he fall
tlons surrounding the market. Slacks
of flour in all positions are-very large,
and the buying side its refusing to talto
hold only In a consumptive manner.
The shipper,' Jobber, and the' retailer
ail wok lor lower prices. country
mills continue to offer flour In the
market, but the local trade Is filled
up and sales are difficult to make. It
looks as If local and coast buyers are
waiting to pick up bargains, and mil
lers who are foolish enough to give
their profit away for the .sake of do
ing something .will suffer eventually.
Just as long as the buyer ean get th
profits belonging-to the miller, ne will
patiently wait for . the lower prices on
which he finally experts to stock up
aaaln. ' Millers all agree, on this, how
ever, that If a buyer needs flour he
might as wall buy- now, as he will save
nothing by watting. The fallacy of
the waiting-attitude has. been . shown
in, the case of feed, they say. It la
said ithat flour Is very cheap, made
so by the persistent high price of feed."

the wool growers have not entered into

any good will come of this association,
but It is argued that It will establish
a trading point here as well, as giving
work to a great number of men. An
other point In favor of Baker as a

allowed a shipping rate that will be

The Dalles, Or, May 80. Chamber
lain and Cake will make a close race In
Wasco county. The vote is hard to
gauge, as the people her seem apa
thetic. There have been but small
crowds a't all the republican meetings
held.
The vote on the llauor Question prom
ises to be exceedingly close. Lately tha
local option people have been sending
out thousands of pamphlets to all vot
ers, and this Is beginning to have lta
effect, more especially upon the ranch
ers. Newspapers have been filled with
paid articles on both sides. So far as
The Dalles is concerned, the town will
probably go wet by about 200. majority,
but from present prospects this will bo
more than offset oy the vote from the
rural districts, the majority of which
will be very close, with the probability
Of most of them going dry by a small
majority. Both sides are -claiming the
victory, but It Is significant that the
liquor men are all very indifferent about
putting up any money that the county
will go wet; , this notwithstanding the
faot that the county went wet at the
last election by over 400 majority;
For state senator N. J. Slnnott will
be elected, aa his only opponent 'Is a
Socialist. For representative Mr. Carter
Is said to have a good prospect of elec

to whether Mr. Dodds, the other Repub

either -the two Democ ratio candidates.
